Emma Thompson spoke out against the sleazy producer, saying he was at "the top of the ladder of a system of harassment and belitting and bullying".

She also compared him to vile Jimmy Savile, and said Weinstein is just the “tip of the iceberg” of what goes on in the movie business.

Sopranos actress Annabella Sciorra is the latest star to make allegations against Weinstein – claiming he “violently raped” her in the 1990s after dropping her off following a party, the New Yorker reports.

And Daryl Hannah says her career suffered following a series of encounters with Weinstein – including one where he “burst in like a raging bull” when she was staying in a hotel room.

Model Cara Delevinge, who also appeared on the show, has also told how Weinstein once tried to force her into a threesome.

A spokesman for Sandler described the actor's actions as a "friendly gesture".
